Keto Egg Noodle Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, xanthan gum, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the egg and cream cheese mixture, stirring well to combine. The batter will thicken as you mix.
- Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, or a gentle simmer.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop the batter into the simmering water, forming noodles of your desired length. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook the noodles for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are firm but still tender.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the noodles to a colander to drain excess water.
- Rinse the noodles with cold water to remove any remaining starch and prevent sticking.
- The noodles are now ready to be used in your favorite keto pasta dishes! You can toss them with sauce, vegetables, or protein of your choice.
